HYROX Erg Intervals — SkiErg & Rowing Power Workout

8 x 2-minute machine efforts alternating SkiErg and rowing with 1-minute rests — build power for two common HYROX stations.

HYROX Erg Intervals

Two of the eight stations are machines. The SkiErg opens the race and the rower sits in the middle — a thousand metres each. These intervals build the specific power both need: eight 2-minute efforts alternating between machines, with a minute to recover.

How to run it

  1. Hold the pace you want for your race-day 1000 m splits — not a sprint you can’t repeat eight times.
  2. Only one machine? Run all eight efforts on it and keep the rest structure.
  3. Long, patient pulls beat frantic ones on both machines — drive with the legs and hips.
